Students Debt Goes Up, Up and away

I will never forget my community college and later my attendance at  Cal State University Los Angeles where I graduated with two degrees and little to NO student loan debt that cripples a person's career flexibility. Grants, scholarships or a job is the best  approach to attending college or having your employer foot the college bill but not for a worthless low demand degree.College Loans Weigh Down Graduates

Interview with LACCD Chancellor on College Budget Cuts

Community Colleges May Have to Turn Away 400,000 students

This does not have to happen to the people of California. If only our elected representa­tives in California would roll-up their sleeves and work at ensuring college is accessible and affordable instead they are prisoners of special interests that hijack the future and kill the dreams of our next generation­. Pension reform and yes the tax extensions would do much to extend the educationa­l opportunit­ies offered by the world renown California community colleges. Governor Brown would much rather waste time with his promise for an election that will cost the state millions of dollars instead of working with the democratic legislatur­e to push through a budget that can at least temporaril­y buy some time until we have REAL political reform. The democratic party in California fails genuine working people who DO NOT belong to a public sector union.It is time for people to take social action and force the politicians to make the tough choices to balance our state budget in a fair and equitable approach that prepares Californians for the future. Read the SF Chronicle for details. The Huffington Post also has a great story.<< MORE >>

Digital Devices in the Classroom

Today's children and young people will face a changed and complex career landscape that will require real-time thinking and as mentioned creativity hence I am a proponent for implementing e-books and other digital devices that means more information than ever before in the hands and minds of youth. Maybe more active political participation. Yes with a caveat that such digital devices can be harmful to a young developing brain yet beneficial to a high school or college age student who must juggle reading assignments with career aspirations.
